Hey hey hey, it's Jo again, down one Mercy Summers and plus one Ivy Logan.
This here Ivy is 28 -- but she SHOULD be 33, because five years ago she died during the District X Incident.
Let's rewind a bit: her parents are Echo and Wolverine, she's was born with lesser versions of her mom's reflexes and her dad's healing factor (as well as normal versions of dad's bone claws and feral senses) and was somewhat nomadic as a kid because she traveled with her dad or the X-Men or whatnot. As a teenager, she went to NAA, and then attended Juilliard for an undergrad in dance. She spent some time as a registered superhero, mostly running with the X-Men, and was recruited into the Avengers when she was 23. Five years later, she died during District X.
But! Ivy's aunt is Vanessa Fisk, New Avalon's resident Kingpin, and 20 years ago she promised her daddy that she'd look over Maya and Ivy even if Maya was meh about it. So the natural reaction was to find a mad scientist (aka, a villain that will be introduced as a Real Actual Bad Buy in the near future) to bring her back to life, after secretly vandalizing her grave and stealing her body. It took five years, but Dr. Not Yet Having Appeared In This Film developed a serum that posthumously boosted her healing factor.
(If you guessed that Dr. NYHAITF was behind the goblin clusterfuck, you're correct! He tested his second-to-last version of his serum on poor Abe. Everyone says "aw" very sadly.)
Her enhanced healing factor comes with a really big drawback: anything her brain classifies as traumatic? Wiped out. Total amnesia. At first it won't seem odd; she'll seem to just be missing memories of dying and coming back to life, which would happen to anybody, but she's also missing as-yet-to-be-defined events in her past that she doesn't know were wiped out. I figure I'll either decide that as I go along, or get her involved in other people's backstories in a traumatic way that can be highlighted later as a missing memory.
Being X-Royalty and generally a cool person (think... well, Wolverine), she should have a bunch of old connections! Friends, sibling-like relationships, actual siblings, rivals, etc. She's Dean Green's older sister, so she should definitely also know Dani Cage, and any and all X-kids may apply. And I know she went to school with a bunch of characters, too!

PLOT WITH ME! :D
So! The last time we did one of these was back in August. We've dropped some old characters, taken on some new ones, some progress has been made in the game in general, so we figure now is a good time to put up another post like this to update and regroup. :D
Like last time, we've got some templates for you!
Players:
Characters:
ASK ME ANYTHING!
Inspired by Carla's AMA in David's intro post, we thought this would be a good place for this particular meme! Make it a free for all. :D This is a good place to ask about existing plots, the motivations behind character traits or personal arcs, and... basically anything else you were ever curious about.
